    People who have lost weight keep it off long term do this ONE thing (Client Case Study)

    People who have lost weight keep it off long term do this ONE thing (Client Case Study)

    Hey Friend!

    Welcome back to another episode of The Strong(HER) Way.

    This week we are doing a bit of a hybrid--we will be doing a short case study of a client who went from working out 0 times a wekk to 5x a week in just a few weeks.

    And then, we will unpack how she did it and WHY it worked.
    (Hint: this is the ONE thing people who have lost weight long term do to help them from rebounding and gaining all the weight back)

    It's also something that is rarely (if ever) addressed in normal goal setting/ habit change conversation.

    If you've been struggling with consistency:
    -whether around making healthier food choices
    -working out more
    -getting better sleep
    -or pretty much any other habit

    ...you won't want to miss this small but mighty episode!

    And, if you've been listening for a while. Using the tools and strategies I'm teaching you here on the show, but *know* you'd get so much better results if you were working with me consistently to stay on track and accountable to your lifestyle goals.

    Overcome weekend eating habits that are getting in the way of your fitness goals

    Overcome weekend eating habits that are getting in the way of your fitness goals

    Hey friend!

    Do you often find yourself going a little crazy on the weekends?

    Maybe you can be 'good' throughout the week, but the weekend hits, and it's like all bets are off.

    This used to be me. I would eat so good all week long, but by the end of the day and pretty much every weekend, it was like a monster took over and I'd just go nuts.

    Then, I'd beat myself up, feel pretty crappy, and swear I'd never do it again...

    we all know how that goes, right?

    It wasn't until I finally learned how to ease up a bit on the will power and pressure I was using to make my food choices, that I was actually able to make better choices more consistently and NO crazy weekend eating episodes.

    If you want to learn how I did it (and am no helping other women do the same) this episode is for you!

    And, if you're ready to finally ditch the diet, feel good in your body while working on your fitness goals, I got you!

    2. grab your personalized plan (on that call)
    3. work with me 1:1 to stay on track and accountable to your goals

    Client Case Study: Eat the right amount of food for your body and goals without fear (REPLAY)

    Client Case Study: Eat the right amount of food for your body and goals without fear (REPLAY)

    Have you ever felt like certain foods were your  enemy, lurking in the dark corners of your pantry, ready to derail your health goals? 

    This episode is for you. 

    Together, we take a deep breath and step into the muddy waters of diet culture, shining a light on the widespread carb phobia that's been fed to us over the years. 

    I pull from personal experience and my client's post-keto struggles to discuss the harm in demonizing carbs and the liberation that comes from food neutrality. 

    By embracing a non-diet approach, we foster a peaceful relationship with food, one where self-discipline doesn't mean deprivation, allowing for intentional choices free from guilt.

    In our quest to break the cycle of dieting, we walk through practical strategies for maintaining energy and emotional balance. 

    Learn how planning meals can prevent decision fatigue and keep you clear of the restrictive mentality diet culture often promotes. 

    By reconnecting with our body's natural hunger and fullness cues, we start toward intuitive eating, leaving behind the guilt, shame, and stress of binging and restricting. 

    If you're ready to find freedom from the fear of food and step into a healthier relationship with your plate and your body, tune in and let's embark on this path to well-being, together.

    Ready to get started on your own journey toward food freedom, a fit lifestyle, and overall life transformation? Get started with 3 simple steps!
